Fishy Case Study

Wednesday, July 28 2010

It's been too long since I've posted a case study, and when I saw Amanda's office filled with fish-themed items, I jumped at the chance to feature this cool new project. One of Amanda's customers, Rehab First, had a great way to turn the oil spill disaster into something positive and fun for their recipients. There have been so many businesses and lives affected by this tragedy, so it is certainly nice to be able to share something to make us smile!

Here is the AMAZING project!

And here is the case study, in Amanda's own words:

Problem: Customer A takes a group of doctors down to the beach every year for a weekend of Deep Sea Fishing. Their trip was obviously not an option this year because of the oil spill. The customer still wanted to do something for the doctors to show their appreciation, but only needed a small quantity of gifts. The minimum on everything except for the coolers (25 pieces) was 12 pieces.

Solution: The customer will be personally delivering these cool fish coolers! Each cooler (imprinted with their logo) has an Angelfish pasta strainer, an angelfish oven mitt, 2 (imprinted) can holders, a ceramic angelfish dip bowl with a spreading knife, and a shark bottle opener. Each will also have an imprinted card with our customers logo that reads, “Due to the strain of the oil spill, we’ll have to catch up with you next year”!

Each of these coolers was wrapped with cello wrap and tied with a giant blue bow to be delivered.

Now THAT'S catchy!!! Way to go, Amanda!

what a fantastic way to briefly take peoples minds off the Gulf spill with some really cool stuff with an optimistic message to all involved. I love the angelfish cooking mitt :-)

I'm sure that the doctors were disappointed when their fishing trip was cancelled but they must have smiled when they received this gift. What a fun and unique idea!

That is a great idea! I think BP should purchase millions of them and distribute them to all of the families affected by the spill.

Really clever. I wish I had the imagination to dream up such great items. Things like this will be long remembered by each recipient. No doubt this is making the best of a bad situation.

this is a great idea... I am sure that the Doctors appreciated the fact that the company was still able to do something for them regardless of the oil spill and reminding them that there is always next year. Great Idea!!
